DUBAI: According to a local daily, India has recommended a hike in the minimum salary structure offered to its work-force who is working in the UAE. Critics believe that the move has been recommended to ensure that Indians living there enjoy an enhanced welfare along with better living conditions.

In addition to this, the Indian Embassy which is located in Abu Dhabi has also come out with recommendations to revise the categories of the job positions at which various workers are employed in the country. This would be done to have a clear picture of the newly recommended salary structure which is desired to be implemented in the coming times.

Additionally, the recommendations are made further to ensure that proper food and accommodation options are provided to the Indian workers employed in the UAE by their employers.

It has been said that the offer to renew the minimum salary structure offered to the Indian employers working there has come after roughly three decades of setting the current salary structure that ranges from Dh600 to Dh750. These were kept as essential requirements for protecting Indian missions’ testimony for the process of employing people.

The step has been affirmed by M.K. Lokesh, who is the Indian Ambassador to the UAE. He confirmed about the discussion going on between the representatives of the Embassy as well as the Indian Consulate who are present in the country. They are having talks with workers and their employees who are engaged in various sectors in an attempt to congregate data and finalize “reference rates” that should be kept essential as a part of minimum salary structure.
